Americans had mixed reactions to Meta's decision to end its fact-checking program this week, with some telling Fox News Digital that the move was concerning. 'Free speech should be absolute,' one respondent told Fox News Digital in Texas. 'I don't think anybody has the authority to censor anybody.
Honestly, a couple of years ago, I probably would have said, 'Well, it's a private company. They have a right to do what they want and people should use their own brains to figure out what's right and what's not, what's true.' But, I'm a psychology student, and I started realizing that people don't always stop and think for themselves, so maybe they need someone else to fact-check for them. So, yeah, it's concerning,' Melissa said.
